+ Pros

  • Easy to store
  • Accurate data collection
  • High resistance & peak performance levels
  • Pleasant noise level

– Cons

  • Separate cassette required
  • Medium to high price range

The Indoor Bike – One Trainer for All

An all-in-one solution that doesn’t require your own bike. These stationary trainers often offer more smart features than traditional ergometers. They’re easy to adjust for multiple riders, and their quiet, freewheel-based drives provide a smooth, natural ride feel.

+ Pros

  • Adjustability & integration
  • Holistic approach
  • No need to modify your bike
  • High resistance & peak performance levels
  • Pleasant noise level

– Cons

  • Large & heavy
  • Higher price range

The Wheel-On Trainer – Ideal for Beginners

No need to remove the rear wheel – your bike mounts directly to the trainer, where it contacts a resistance roller. The roller controls resistance and training intensity, while a front-wheel block can add stability. For quieter sessions and less wear, use a dedicated trainer tire.

+ Pros

  • Easy to store
  • No extra cassette needed
  • High resistance levels possible

– Cons

  • High noise level
  • Wear on rear tire
  • Possible rear-wheel slip

The Roller Trainer – The Classic Choice

With this setup, your bike rests on three rollers, letting both wheels spin freely – like a treadmill for your bike. It delivers an especially natural ride feel but takes balance and practice. Conical rollers or special frames can make those first sessions easier.

+ Pros

  • Attractive price point
  • Easy to store
  • Authentic ride experience

– Cons

  • Requires good coordination
  • Limited maximum resistance

[**] The stated delivery time includes the complete processing of the shipment at BIKE24 and transport to the delivery address you provided. For items not in stock, it also covers the time needed to procure the goods from our suppliers. The stated delivery time refers to the currently selected delivery country .
The DHL Express option is generally subject to a surcharge. DHL Express can be selected during checkout if all items in the shopping cart offer the Express option and DHL Express is available for the selected country. We display the remaining time for receiving the order in exact hours and minutes. For DHL Express deliveries, parcel transit times may be longer depending on the postal code of the delivery address. Once the postal code is entered, the exact parcel transit time for that address will be calculated. If you are logged in to your account, we will use the postal code of your default delivery address to calculate the DHL Express transit time.
If you order multiple items with different delivery times, shipping will begin once all items are ready for dispatch. For the payment method “cash in advance,” delivery time will be extended, as shipping will not start until payment is actually received. The status “Not deliverable” indicates items that are currently unavailable and for which there is no reliable availability information. These items cannot be ordered. We recommend choosing other available products from the BIKE24 range. More about delivery.

[10] Only available in Germany – The stated “leasing price” is a guideline for 36 months of use and is calculated from the purchase price minus any potential income tax benefits from a salary conversion. The calculation assumes the maximum possible income tax benefit. Your actual savings depend on your income and personal circumstances and may be lower. Transfer costs at the end of the lease are not included. You can calculate your individual lease rate using the calculators provided by our leasing partners on our leasing information page. Please note that for discounted items under leasing, we apply a 5% surcharge to the purchase price shown in the webshop – but never more than the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).
